The 'Save The Whales' thing is both funnier/more sinister in retrospect. Because it ended up being Soviet whaling that was depressing the population the whole time.
Whaling was seen as a glamorous profession to the early soviet union in the 30s, so their command economy built a whaling fleet and assigned people to work in it. But much like how we still have flocks of mohair goats in our military strategic reserve, despite having switch away from mohair uniforms during the Spanish American War, they kept whaling decades after there ceased to be any demand for whale carcasses in the Soviet Union. The did this even after signing treaties to stop and telling their own public they would stop.
It wasn't until the whole Soviet Union fell in the early 90s that they stopped paying for maintenance on the whaling ships and paying the whalers.
I remember a docco about a really remote Siberian port. They'd stopped whaling by then, but an older fellow explained the mounds of whalebones on the shore. They were required to bring in 20 whales per boat each season. The demand had ended long ago, but if they failed they faced prison :/
Be your own person. If you're always changing based on what your enemy presents itself as then you'll win nothing. No need to be the polar opposite of your enemy.
If that means getting baptized and reading the Bible, then so be it.
If you're anti-authoritarianism you would betray that principle by doing that.
Just a few decades ago, Antichrist Consciousness was actually good because that was anti-establishment.
Wait, you think the establishment has only been evil for a few decades? Bro, it's been at least a century; don't let political figureheads giving lip service fool you. The US government has even been openly against God since the 60s, when the Supreme Court passed several decrees turning away from God and the other two branches of government just went along with it.
Even if I knew beyond all doubt God wasn't real I would still do everything I could to build Traditional Christianity from the ground-up purely to spite these monsters.
I’ve mentioned it here before but “near death experiences” were a big part of my path to god.
Even if it’s not 100% proof of god existing, it provides very good evidence. And it basically proves that the reductive materialist view of what consciousness is, isn’t correct.
I chose to be Christian because it’s obvious who the J’ws and the system they control seem to hate most. There’s a reason they endorse and represent everything to the contrary of the Bible, there’s a reason they spent decades using “science” and media propaganda to push westerners away from Christ. Christianity is why they hate the traditional family and hate gender roles that are promoted in the Bible. There’s a reason J’ish Bolsheviks dug up dead nuns and desecrated their body’s in public, there’s a reason they murdered priests during the Bolshevik revolution and then spent decades mass murdering Christians while pretending to ban all religion. The truth is, they only cared to ban Christianity, because they sure AF weren’t persecuting j’ws when their first act after the Bolshevik takeover was to make antisemitism a capital offense.
Jesus mentioned them by name: “those who call themselves J’ws but are not, they are the Synagogue of Satan.” And it sure appears that we are dealing with the same group right now trying to takeover over everything so they can force their beast system on us (aka technocracy).
I need no more reason to be a Christian other than knowing the pure evil that has taken over our world sees Christ and his followers as their primary enemy, they see Whites as a primary enemy too because we were the ones who spread the word of Christ all over the world…..now they want to genocide Whites as a form of vengeance. Obviously the right side to be on is with Christ.
You’ve got an advantage most of us don’t have, you’ve seen a glimpse of what the afterlife might be for all of us….even without that, I put 100% of my faith in Christ, I have no reason not to, nothing any one has ever said has convinced me otherwise. The science minded folks can’t explain how the Big Bang happened out of nothingness without some sort of trigger that existed outside of their empty system coming in to trigger the event.
Dr. Francis Collins, director of the Human Genome Project (that mapped the human DNA structure) said that one can "think of DNA as an instructional script, a software program, sitting in the nucleus of the cell."
Perry Marshall, an information specialist, comments on the implications of this. "There has never existed a computer program that wasn't designed...[whether it is] a code, or a program, or a message given through a language, there is always an intelligent mind behind it."
It's a legitimately fine starting position. Because anyone serious and high IQ enough to understand what "Pascal's wager" entails will do their due diligence in playing the role and look into the theology. And Christ will take it from there.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
You may not believe in black magick, jin, annunaki, dispossessed demons, satan, but the jevvs who rule over you do.
There's only really two kinds of people that suffer from religiosity; the hypocrites and the fearful.
To the former, all I'll say is that asking me to forsake my intellectual honesty by willingly embracing and calling truth thst which has no evidence or even reasonable supposition for truth while insisting thst you hold the objectively true and correct facts to existence will never convince anyone not already willing to delude themselves. You didn't reason yourselves into this, you won't reason others into it; all you can do is browbeat and berate, and once you get the power you so desperately crave, you force at the point of a sword, in violation of the tenets you swear are so true and absolute. You are the same as those whom you hate, because you do not hate what they do but rather who they do it to and how they disguise their trappings. You await eagerly your chance to revenge yourselves, but you do not see it thus. To you, you do not deliver vengeance, but justice, much as do the people currently revenging themselves upon you.
To the latter, all I can offer you is my pity. You are so afraid of basic truth, thst we are, all animals upon this earth, nothing more than the meat and blood equivalent of software running on a computer that you invent entire dimensions you'll somehow magically transmigrate to upon your cessation of being, as well as cruel, brutal, capricious, and distant kings and lords to rule you from these distant places. You so fear to grow to adulthood, to find that there in the world is naught and no one but what you and others make of it, that you retreat to ordered fantasy, reinforced with threats against those who might want a peak outside; eternal children hiding behind an invented father.
No, Pascal's wager never made sense, nor was it ever just or moral. Pascal's wager was, and remains, predicated on the idea that your god is so cruel, so vicious, and so petty that it desire naught but blind submission. That a life well lived, in service of justice and good, bringing joy and happiness to the innocent and firm but fair justice to the wicked, is nothing if you do not swear fealty to and prostrate yourself before your god first and foremost. That no amount of living within the tenets of a religion, even if you don't explicitly submit to or venerate its idols, is worthless if you do not prostitute your will and pride before the church. This is not a moral supposition; this is an ultimatum at gunpoint.
Pascal's wager is a fool's bet for the hypocrites and the fearful. I will choose to live a good life without gods or demons, and if, upon my death, I find myself before your god, or any other god, and am firmly rejected simply for failing to prostrate myself and swear fealty, then I shall know this was never a loving force of good to begin with; it was always merely another tyrant demanding slaves.
And if I die and simply cease to be, as I expect will happen, then at least I won't have wasted a good chunk of my very limited time on earth playing dice with Pascal.
You also get to piss them off for free at the same time. Total win.
Funny how the left is certain God is not real, but still worship Satan, eh?
Oh they change the name every few years, No Nukes, Save The Whales, Equal Rights, Men are women and women are men, MAPS are people too & etc.
My favorite is their love of abortion. 😶

After that the whale stocks started to recover.

It used to be an important resource though.
Realizing the antichrist was very real is what led me back to the Church.

Evidence of design is evidence of a designer

I too, was basic, until I took acid.
Hah hah, chemistry joke.

This is why so many Polish became religious during the communist era
Godless fucking heathens

Is this a reddit copy pasta?
tl;dr: Blah blah blah, empty materialism, blah blah, arrogant pride, tips fedora.
This is pure reddit cringe.
